Instagram increases time duration of Reels

Instagram has launched three new major features -- Repost, Interactive Map, and Friends tab -- for its users.

Threads has introduced a new feature aimed at improving how users share media on the platform.

Instagram users can now schedule direct messages (DMs) to be sent at a later time, a feature that has been officially launched to enhance the app's messaging experience.

Instagram has unveiled a significant update, enabling users to enhance their photos with new text and sticker functionalities.

In a move aimed at enhancing user engagement, Instagram has expanded the capacity for carousel posts to include up to 20 photos or videos.

Meta has launched its advanced artificial intelligence assistant, Meta AI, across its major platforms including WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, and Instagram, catering specifically to users in India.

Instagram, in a blog post, said it will not "proactively recommend" political content from accounts that users do not already follow.

Instagram is launching the ability for users to post video Notes.

Instagram's Twitter/X rival, Threads, is getting more aggressive by bringing its keyword search function to every area where the app is accessible. Before being rolled out to the majority of other English- and Spanish-speaking nations, including the United States, in September, the feature was first tested in English-speaking regions, such as Australia and New Zealand, in August, reported TechCrunch.

To prevent Threads posts from appearing on Meta's other platforms, press the two lines in the top right of the Threads app > Privacy > Suggesting posts on other apps - two switches allow users to disable Instagram and Facebook suggestions. Meta prefers to bring out Threads features gradually, reported The Verge.
